Pianist Giancarlo Tossani is a mighty fine pianist. He is Also a fine composer. (USA, Downtown Music Gallery NY, Bruce Lee G, 2008)
It sounds really good quartet "Synapser" the pianist Giancarlo Tossani, well enough to be one of the best formations Italian (ITA, Flavio Massarutto Gazzettino, 2006)
A music alarm, arrembante, agra, psychically insurgency. (ITA, Soudcontest, Peter Mazzone, 2008)
Intrigue, séduit, déconcerte diversité the par des paysages qu'il invite à visiter. (FRA, Jazzman, Pascal Anquetil, 2005)
A music that does not try exhibitionism, addressed to an excavation inner thought and thoughtful, that arises in dialectic with the listener without offering too many certainties, rather, a voltage nearly ethics. (ITA, Il Manifesto, Louis Honors, 2005)
Writing music Tossani rests on supports where the funky rhythmic swing or are so brittle to dissolve in an abstract context, ultra-modern, while the trajectories issues are necessarily made by oblique harmonic procedures. (ITA, Audiophile Sound, Daniel Cecchini, 2008)
The quartet is blessed with the rare gift of perfect harmony, a merit that, at least fifty per cent, is to be attributed to Tossani, his way of devising a small group, within which applies an interesting form of "democratic authority "enticing partners in meeting smoothly the parts together, but giving them, at the same time, even the space to express themselves freely. (ITA, Jazz Magazine, Enzo Pavoni, 2007)
The music of Tossani moves on textures and structures so open but with great control of space (tonal and compositional), and a management accortissima of the material. The themes are dense and thoughtful, almost abstract, played on compelling shades sometimes through dialogue precise, almost philosophical, between the musicians. Nothing is left to act fast and flirtatious, or amicable solution and banal. (ITA, Jazzit, Vincenzo Martorella, 2005)
Composer and open the original, combining the harmonic freedom dear to Ornette Coleman with the size of the rigidly structured academic music, the sound harsh and zigzagging the Dolphy inspired with a more refined radiance Latin America. Everything flows into a personal style minimalist, in which both the solos that highlight the moments accompanying the accuracy of touch, the beauty of the sound. (ITA, The Province, Vincenzo Roggero, 2004).
